Wolfenstein RPG hit the iPhone last night with a neat, almost cel-shaded look. I was a bit surprised, though, to see Hitler's new look in the game.

Unwilling, it seems, to keep Hitler in the turn-based title, the developers decided the next best thing would be to create a leader who has lower facial hair than the infamous Nazi. The swastikas too have been replaced with a plus sign.

It's an interesting decision to include the iconic look and setting of the game but to essentially edit out the Nazi references. I wonder if future console and PC shooters from Electronic Arts will get the same sort of treatment.

Are there other regimes that won't be appearing in video games in the future?
